Port Metro Vancouver is proud to honour 12 shipping and four cruise lines with a Blue Circle Award for 2014.
The Blue Circle Awards recognize marine carriers with the highest rate of participation in Port Metro Vancouver’s EcoAction Program. EcoAction sets goals for air emissions reductions for ocean-going vessels that enter our port, and rewards those that excel in environmental stewardship. As part of the program, vessels are entitled to a discount of up to 47 per cent on harbour dues by choosing a variety of eligible fuels, technology options and environmental management practices.
“Port Metro Vancouver is ensuring port operations are sustainably managed while at the same time responding to increasing demand for trade,” said Robin Silvester, President and Chief Executive Officer, Port Metro Vancouver.
